Expelled - No lntelligence Allowed

A few from church saw this excellent movie this past weekend and were encouraged to "fight the good fight of faith." It's a must-see movie.
This movie follows Ben Stein as he seeks to determine whether Intelligent Design is a pseudo-science trying to undermine evolutionary biology or whether it is legitimate science being suppressed by a scientific establishment that is hostile to any deviation from the status quo.-www.wingclips.com

Joy

"Joy is a deep down confidence that God is in control."

Over 30 of our young people will be traveling to Sacramento as they gather together with others statewide to stand for Truth, Jesus.
It's our joy to show them the way to the Truth.
They are our leaders of tomorrow. God calls them to change their world for Him.
Pray for safe travel to and from the event and most of all, their hearts will once again burn passionately for Jesus.
